Marquis Teague

Marquis Teague averaged 14.9 points in 44 games with the Oklahoma City Blue of the NBA's Development League last season.

That's great for Teague's perseverance but not so much for the Bulls, who hoped the Kentucky product could be a long-term answer at backup point guard when they used the 29th overall pick on him in 2012.

That long-term need remains despite E'Twaun Moore possibly returning on a team option and Kirk Hinrich mulling his player option for 2015-16. Thursday's NBA draft, in which the Bulls own the 22nd pick, offers plenty of backcourt options, both of the true point guard and combo guard variety.
